Watch now as Jason Shapiro provides powerful insights into his unique price action trading strategies and contrarian approach to reading trader positioning charts across the stock market, futures, and currencies. We’ll explore the exact methods Jason uses—as a successful trader and featured Market Wizard—to fade crowded positioning, navigate extreme volatility, and identify high-reward/low-risk opportunities by watching the tape. Learn how to ignore the "fake narratives" and focus on the news failures and positioning data that actually move the needle in today’s markets.
Why are so many crypto traders currently getting slaughtered in the market? Because they are breaking every classic rule of trading psychology.
In this market update, 30-year Hedge Fund Manager Jason Shapiro uses the recent Bitcoin price action as a real-time masterclass in risk management. Jason breaks down why he doesn't love or hate Bitcoin—or any asset—and exposes the toxic "Bitcoin Bro" mentality that causes traders to marry losing positions, add to their losses, and stubbornly fight the tape.
Discover what the institutional COT (Commitment of Traders) positioning data is currently saying about the crypto market, why mass sentiment is often confused with price action, and why you should never buy into an asset until the tape actually agrees with your thesis.
Stop trading on emotion, narratives, and "diamond hands" mentality. Start trading the data. Join the Crowded Market Report to get our weekly institutional positioning charts and trade alongside professionals.
